How to send SMS text messages in CSV file format

This guide provides you detailed information
on how you can send SMS text messages in CSV file format with Ozeki NG SMS
Gateway. Please follow the configuration guide below to be able to apply this
solution.

It is possible to export Excel tables into CSV file
format. In this way data of the table will be structured in a table of
lists form. In the created CSV file each line corresponds to a row
of the original table. Within a line, fields are separated by commas,
and each field belongs to one table column. (Please see Figure 1 for
an Excel table and Figure 2 for an exported CSV file from the table).

Finally you will be able to send data in CSV file format via SMS text messages
with the help of a File user in Ozeki NG SMS Gateway. This solution
allows you to send text messages in a simple file format instead of
Excel tables.

Configuration
